they are going to be something around 400Mb at the current encoding
bitrate (164Kbps). A CD would be enough, but doing the math
400Mb / 256Kbps = 3,5 hours
I doubt it that snail mail can be that fast ;-) [I thought it was much
worse yesterday]
Actually, know what? the encoding is so slow that I could transfer
while encoding .... hmmm, does anybody know how to do this? like a
SSH-thru symlink?
